Early Spring Fun

While the calendar says spring is here, the weather continues to disagree. I'm watching snow fall outside once again today. Sigh. One day, spring will come. In the mean time, we've been enjoying ourselves thoroughly in the great indoors.

Sugar cookie fest with my little cutie helpers.

A current favorite activity around the house. In just eight weeks, I'll have my own little bundle to carry around. (Eight weeks?!) Won't the three of us girls be quite the sight with our three little joey pouches filled?

Yet another reason why I love my husband. Nail polish party before A went to work the other day. Oh, my love. You are fantastic.

The concentration of it all.

April is, um, FREEZING COLD

Today was the first farmers' market. It was rather chilly and a bit sad as there were only a few vendors braving the elements, but we went and had a jolly good time together. Come on, spring. You can do it!

Us

Nothing's stopping them from hitting the market.

M's face here reminds me a lot of little-girl Aunt A.

While We're At It...

Here's another classy video of the ladies. And a too-cute picture of Miss My-hair-is-finally-starting-to-grow.

Dance Party!

For the first time since E was born 19 months ago, we are posting a video that includes her.

(E, we are so very sorry about this. Please forgive us. We do not love you any less than M...we are just a tad busier this time around, yes?)

Whoop it up, girls! You make us smile.

Silly

The girls and I had fun being goofy in front of the camera this weekend. Here's the fruit of our labor.

Speaking of labor, I'm 30 weeks along with baby #3. Only 10 (or so) weeks to go!

I love these children.

The Girls

These are a few shots from this last week at our house...

M at 3.5 years old

Lovely

Happy E

Happy E with food hanging off her chin

Six-months-pregnant me. M is apparently tightening up my large belly with her trusty Allen wrench.

Hello, E.

Nice mug shots, girls.

M models the amazingly cool red socks Aunt A knit for her. Thank you, A!

M, her socks, and her rockin' ladybug nails (thanks, Julie!)

Love Across the Miles

In early March, we took a trip to visit the extended fam. The girls were rather sick most of the time, but it was still wonderful to be with family. We didn't take many pictures because we were busy running the girls to the doctor here and there, but here are the ones we did manage to snap.

Happy Birthday to Us and Other Winter Happenings

In January, we were invited to celebrate the lovely A's birthday with her at an ice-skating rink. Come on. What a fantastic idea. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. In early February, I had my own birthday celebration. We had some friends over on the evening of my birthday for ice cream and lovely conversation, as well as a bit of a dance party.

The birthday girl and me

My birthday. Thanks for celebrating with me!

Other random winter news...I finally finished and mailed homemade Christmas gifts to the cousins.
Just a month or two late...

M smiling a not-so-genuine smile

A and his winter-camping crew. Unfortunately, the two-night trip that was planned was cut short by zero-degree temperatures and 70-mph winds. Needless to say, I'm glad they came home early.
